Profile
Switchblade is a brand new Farr 43 developed from Drake's Prayer and Snake Oil. Owner Tom McCall previously had the champion one tonner Exador, which was a member of the 1983 NZ Southern Cross team. He had retained most of the crew from his previous yacht and the experience is there to make this yacht one of the favourites for this year's event.
